I'll join if it's not too hardcore or anything. I won't have time for many matches and stuff. I'll mainly be looking for a group of good players to play with and have a good time.
I'm really looking forward to BF2. BF DC was awesome so I expect this to be even more so.

No, no. I didn't mean it like that. I just meant you should already know that I'm interested without the need to ask.
Anyway, who's going to actually run and organize this clan? I don't want to be the main guy or anything, but I'll be more than willing to help out with anything the main guy needs done (Website/ladders/etc).

Just watched that 9 miute gameplay vid- O for awesome! A few things bugging me tho:
- Whats with the recoil on the guns? Is that realistic at all, because there basically is hardly any! (btw, im not going to crank the 'lack of realism' complaint, because I know that's not what bf is about.
- The explosions still don't look as good as I thought they could have
BUT
- Lovin the ragdoll physics
- And the sprint feature- long needed aspect of bf.
- And of course the graphics- even on a small media player screen, it just looks incredible- mark me down for a preorder for sure!

well supposedly the version of bf2 they were running was unoptimised, it looked good but i noticed some tearing and a slight stutter but that could be coz of the vid capture.
they say it in the vid, the german dudes, they say its bumpy coz of the version, not their system. :thumbs:

bad : The recommended requirements for Battlefield 2 were 2.5 GHz CPU, 1 Gigabyte of RAM, Radeon X800 or higher, and Geforce 6800 or higher.
but it is recommended only for hi settings
The minimum requirements for Battlefield 2 were 1.5 GHz CPU, 512mb RAM, 1.4 shader model video card being ATI Radeon 8500 or above, and NVIDIA Geforce FX or above (Geforce 4 series will not work :flame: ).
but good thing this game WILL ROCK :bounce: :thumbs:
The first thing I noticed when I spawned was seeing an explosion and fire coming out of the windows of a building, and it looked stunning. The sounds of the game were just simply amazing; it felt as you were actually there as I heard explosions, gunfire going off everywhere, and the sound of a jet engine above me as a plane flew by. The game itself was well balanced as I did not see one class being over used or one weapon dominating.

According to Dynabyte (http://www.dynabyte.nl/software.php?i=17964), a dutch store, BF2 will be in stock june 23rd. And contrary to earlier reports it doesn't come with a headset. If you do want a headset, you'll have to order the Battlefield 2 Commanders Edition which will costs 10 euro's more. That's the version I'll be getting ....

another preview.
I'm glad this preview addressed a bit of the balancing. I was hoping the sniper wouldn't have a 1-shot kill unless it was a headshot and I'm glad it's so.
All these previews keep telling us the same things:
-Great graphics to drool over
-Fluid gameplay
-Infantry combat has greatly improved
-Commander mode aspects
-Vehicle combat is fun
-The game is going to kick ass when it comes out
I'd like for a preview to focus strictly on the balancing for once. I know what to expect walking into BF2 in terms of features...but I don't know how many shots it'll take to take down a tank from the front, side or back with the anti-tank rpg or the grenades etc. This is the kind of stuff that's on my mind right now...balancing. That and air vehicle combat. Everyone says helicopters will act like in BF:V but I never played Vietnam...are they like in DC?
Direwolf
16-05-2005, 01:09 AM
They're supposedly easier than DC, but still take some skill.
I think they don't talk about balance because all told they only get a few hours with the game, so they can't speak with authority.
J_Tweedy
16-05-2005, 01:10 AM
No, they aint like DC. They're easier to control and master for one. But there are more preventative measures against helicopters in Vietnam, rockets and artillery, they are weaker. etc. I think the balance for bf2 will tend towards infantry combat this time, bf:v was the only one to make vehicles the dominant element. Also, think about the technology of the time in bf2- heat guided, laser guided, wire guided missiles. etc, which will make short work of most aircraft.

Ok. I am a pro when it comes to helo's in DC so I'll only have to adjust to the feel in BF2 I guess.

I plan to do what I did with BF1942. Play through the "Campaign" first to make sure I have a feel for all the maps, kits, vehicles, commander mode, etc. before hitting the servers. I'll play commander from time to time. I always do my best to keep the team together working on flags rather than just killing people in DC so being commander sounds like a good fit for me. I think I'll be going engineer, medic, anti-tank, special ops as my main kits of choice. It seems like engineer would be ideal as commander so you could step out of the command screen to repair your own structures if you need to.

I'd love to be a commander. The cool thing about it imo is that you can play as a normal grunt, but you can switch to the commander screen. Like AmishSlayer wrote: it'd be great to guard your own command structure, and issue orders, artillery attacks, the works in the meantime. I'll be the commander of the HL2.net-clan!

Yeah, you can. If you were constantly switching back and forth like that, not only would you need a place to hide but you wouldn't exactly be the best commander if you were running around on the ground using the info (not to mention the commander abils.) only to your advantage.
Sure the commander could be a great 1-man army if he used all his powers for himself while he ran around the map...but it wouldn't win you the game.

Exactly. That's why it's prolly best to station your commander in the rear in stead of at the front. That has been common practice in most armed conflicts .... ;)

TBI Australian Preview
http://www.totalbf2.com/news/tbi1.php
So what can the Commander actually do? Well basically he is a regular player on the battlefield, who has the ability to remotely observe the battlefield in a couple of ways. Most basic is his top-down map view, which shows every member of his team as well as Flag possession or status. This is pretty much the same as the map view we're familiar with in Battlefield 1942/DC, except he can interact with it in two ways. Firstly he has a filter system, whereby he can choose which of his team members to display based on class/vehicle/squad. Secondly, by right clicking on a location within the map and selecting an option from the pop-up menu which appears. He can issue orders to Squad Leaders such as 'Attack', 'Defend', etc, call an artillery strike or drop ammo supply crates. He also has the ability to launch a UAV Drone.
The UAV Drone on its own isn't the all-revealing tool some people have assumed it would be. In fact, it moves quite quickly and is only accessible for a short span each time it's deployed. As Commander you can zoom in or out and it does show all the action of the battlefield in real time from a top down perspective, but it only covers sections at a time and you don’t have much time to relay that information on to your Squad Leaders, who then have to relay the information to their Squad.
cool

How many ranks will there be in BF2 and how long do you estimate it will take to gain a new rank?
Battlefield 2 will ship with 13 ranks. In general players can achieve the earlier ranks more easily, but the higher ranks take more time and experience points.

I sure hope not. There would be way too many buildings to allow entry to all of them. I'm talking strictly from a balancing point of view. If you could go in EVERY building there would be way too many points to camp.

That's what I was hoping for. If the map is ALL cityscape...then every building being open to infantry would be too much. I think there should be just a few main buildings and maybe a few random buildings (maybe for sniping and such) should be enterable.

Just thought you guys would like to know the minimum internet connection for Online play for BF2 will be 128k ISDN. But there will be a fantastic single player element.
When BF2 was first announced it was announced as 100 Player multiplayer online, but that would have required 512k minimum. In order to broaden the player base they cut it back to 64 players online and 128k ISDN.

Still doubtful. I'm not planning on using 5.1 or anything, so I might just go for onboard sound. Maybe the money is better spent on a good headset.
Talking about headsets: how many of you use headsets while gaming? And for the users: is it actually helpful? I tried it once in UT2004, but it was just a bunch of people screaming "owned", "dude" and stuff like that.

well youll only be able to hear the voices of your squaddies and your squad leader. and if your the squad leader you can communicate with the commander too.
commander can communicate with all squad leaders.
you probably already knew this

Yup :) It should be pretty cool to have squads report in to you as a commander, but I am probably expecting too much out of pub play.

I'm thinking / hoping communicating by headset will work in squads, even when playing on a pub server, if all your squaddies are people you 'know' (from this forum for example).

Why not make a 'pool' for all of those that want to be in the squad, then when 6 people want to play the game they can join and make a squad, allowing the others from the pool to make a different squad - I doubt there'll be that many instances where you six are all online at the same time.
(Plus I want to join in the action :p)

Very good idea. And if we're with more than six people, we just form two squads.

BF2 has VOIP, so we don't need Teamspeak, Ventrilo or something like that. I am gonna buy myself a nice new USB-headset tho.
I don't really care about clantags. You guys decide on that.

I'm gonna have to get a solid usb headset pretty soon too. The one that comes with it looks a bit too cheap for my tastes.
I'd love to be commander when we get started. That's the reason I wanna go engineer first so I can hang back and hide. If anybody blows my shit up I could just hop out of the commander screen and repair it myself.
